I bet my fiancée that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.

She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 13 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle so hard to comprehend large numbers.

Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.

Holy #surveillance hell, Batman.

Let me get this straight:

First, they feed your video, which is already stored in their cloud, into an #AI transformer to write descriptions.

Then they feed your descriptions into a pattern learning system (ML, maybe?) to figure out your patterns and habits.

All of this is stored in the cloud. So they not only have your video, but a narrative about your habits, ready to be exfiltrated, monetized, and shared with law enforcement.

Eastern Nebraska’s bur oak trees, known as the ‘King of the Great Plains,’ dying due to widespread drought

The dieback of bur oak trees in eastern Nebraska became apparent in 2023. By the summer of 2024, dozens of bur oaks were dying, resulting in 70% of the bur oak canopy being lost. Elms, hackberries, ash and red oaks have also succumbed to the harsh conditions.

Eastern Nebraska’s bur oak trees, known as the ‘King of the Great Plains,’ dying due to widespread drought

Bur oak trees are some of the most common native Nebraska trees. They’re hardy trees, known to withstand a range of stresses, including Nebraska’s harshest weather. But they’re dying en masse due to years of devastating drought.

I have watched my life burn to the ground and started again from scratch many, many times.

I believe in second acts and second chances.

I want to say this clearly for anyone who needs to hear it: it is possible to survive radical, unexpected and unwanted life changes, to start again, and to build a new life that is worth living.

The president of the US tries to issue commands to airborne pilots of the Israeli airforce… via social media post.

Some day, when historians will attempt to describe our time to future generations, no one will believe them.

Stacey Campbell 1d ago

@randahl Caps lock was on, that should have worked.

Randahl Fink 1d ago

@stacey_campbell indeed — everyone knows that caps lock opens a direct line of communication with IDF fighter jets.

@randahl @stacey_campbell It’s embedded in Link 16 no? American-made jets will all receive text comms from POTUS if he caps them.

Martin Marconcini 1d ago

@randahl why did he sign the post like that. Lol?

In case it wasn't clear, he is really super duper serious. 😠

Szymon Sokół 🇵🇱🇪🇺🇺🇦1d ago

@gryzor @randahl Why, to make it official. A harder question is, why he even posted it. I see just two possibilities: a) he is stupid enough to believe it would work; b) he thinks his followers are stupid enough to believe he actually tried to stop IDF…

RebelGeek99 1d ago

@blotosmetek @gryzor @randahl his followers are definitely stupid enough to believe it. That was my first thought, anyway. He needs to keep the show going.

Matt ⁂ 🇳🇴 🇺🇦1d ago

@gryzor @randahl that way, they know it's him! 🤡

@gryzor @randahl
You're right that the post could only have emerged from the singular mind of the most stable genius, but the signature makes it the OFFICIAL POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Bugspriet 1d ago

@randahl There was a time I belived, that any future generation will call our time "the new dark age".
But now I think it maybe "the madness"

Nightlynx☕❄🌨☑1d ago

@Bugspriet I know understand why fantasy and sci-fi literature portrays chaos as evil adversary. I also recommend not reading social media posts written by certain people. It's healthier and you don't miss a thing. /CC @randahl

@Bugspriet @randahl

The madness led by The insanity. 😳

That’s narcissism. He thinks the whole world hangs on his every word, even pilots in their cockpits.

Randahl Fink 1d ago

@djembro the only thing more dangerous than texting while driving, is SoMe scrolling with a MIG-29 on your six.

Wyatt H Knott 1d ago

@randahl I have a feeling SOMEONE is starting to realize they got played.

UncleRico 1d ago

@randahl Via Truth Social, his vanity product. The only reason anyone knows about it is because other social media and traditional media continue to platform it in real time.

@randahl
Well into Caligula territory.

BillionaireBourguignon 1d ago

@randahl he forgot to tell them to do the friendly plane wave!

@randahl he even signed it, like a grandpa.

Je suis contente 1d ago

@randahl
Gosh, that's so official. I bet the Supreme Court would uphold that order.

@Pourroy @randahl
Yes they would

@randahl I find his peacocking on social media totally unprofessional. Shit like this is discussed with involved parties and then white house press secretary releases statements on situation. Not this dumbfuckery like some teenagers are arguing on fucking Twitter about whose console is better. It's just so weird and childish.

joosteto 1d ago

@rejzor @randahl
Indeed. But Trump realizes that if would never win an argument (any argument) if he were to discuss it the involved parties.
So he shouts on social media, hoping no-one dares to oppose him.

JimTheWhyGuy ❌👑1d ago

@randahl Ya know how DJT said that Israel and Iran "don't know what the fuck they're doing" live, in front of reporters?

Au contraire, DJT: Israel knows EXACTLY what it's doing. Bibi played you into escalating this conflict.

So much for The Dealmaker In Chief 🤦‍♂️

@randahl He clearly has never understood the job description

A violation?

Why is anyone going to listen to someone who violates American law and the constitution on a daily basis.

At least he spelt his name correctly this time.

The Onion writers collectively: "Aw, crap. He beat us AGAIN!"

Or the absolutely believe it, because their world leaders have continued to be just that foolish or more...

@randahl But for real..

You can't make this sht up anymore..

@randahl I receive more convincing phishing emails from Prince's trying to get me to help them relocate 250 million! :D

@randahl It certainly appears Trump is stupid enough to believe he can just make things up and magically they happen. Ukraine in one day. Price of eggs in one day. Ceasefire. Addled brained imbecile (besides being the lowest of the low). No doubt because his "business acumen" is that he ran a small family business where people do his bidding, and his failures were swept under the carpet and/or written off as bankruptcy.

@randahl
That's his style of negotiation with nations who are at war.
Tried the same with Putin.
Didn't work either.

@randahl I AM BEING IGNORED BY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are at this stage in the shit show (end of the song):

@randahl Glad the pilots have a direct interface on their visor with his social channel, otherwise they are lost.

SouprMatt 1d ago

@randahl He signs his name as if we don’t know. He says “thank you for your attention to this matter” as if he’s sending out an overdue water bill notice.

So glad Jake Tapper spent all his time writing about an old president instead of the SENILE president in charge now.

@mls14 @randahl

Senile? Insane. A fever dream 😐

@randahl man, I am living through this shit, and every 5 minutes I have to go "there's no fucking way that's even remotely true."

@randahl @randahl But now I also know what the #FlatEarth morons mean when they always talk about my telescope being programmed by NASA (really, I have to deal with something like that).

There is a backdoor interface between Orange Man social media platform and my telescope. 😂
